Authenticator app not auto opening in iPhone

For as long as I could remember, when I tried to access my account, the notification comes to my iPhone (Authenticator app) automatically; prompting me to put in the two digit code. For some reason this has stopped happening? (I have to physically open up the Authenticator app to complete the login process).

In General settings > Notifications on my iPhone, I do have the configuration for the app to be notifying me automatically (it has been this way since the beginning). So this is not the problem/solution

I have also restarted my phone in case it needed a reboot for this to work, but this is not fix the problem

What else could be causing the notifications not to come through to my iPhone automatically?
